Love Is In The Blair

REQUESTED GUIDELINES FOR GIVING (PLEASE READ) -    I doubt anyone is in danger of this, but I’ll say it anyway.  Don’t give more than you feel led.  If you don’t feel led to give, don’t.  But I ask that you at least pray.  God values obedience greater than sacrifice. (1 Samuel 15:22) -    If giving to my trip will pull money from your tithe, please don’t give.  It is the local church that is best positioned to minister in your life & the lives of those in your community, many of them can’t make the difference they otherwise could because people aren’t giving to them in a Biblical way.  If you trust them with your spiritual guidance, trust your leaders to use your tithe as God leads them.  If you don’t trust them with that, perhaps you should examine either yourself or your choice of church.  If you want to bring it before your church to support me as a body, I’d be open & grateful to talk about that more....

I'm thankful that You do not give up on me in spite of my pursuit of other, even if "good" and "wonderful," things. I'm thankful that You're always there to remind me, harshly when necessary, that You are BEST and that though my heart may long for "more" somehow that You are more than sufficient for such a prideful man. None of my words, nor a collection of those of the wisest men and women, could ever come near what it would take to express my need for You, and You alone; Nor could they aptl...
